IPv6 Home Network stuff is broken as anyone who’s trying to deploy IPv6 at ISP scale knows. Want IPv6 ? Stick to OpenWRT or DD-WRT as basically anything you pay money for is broken one way or another.

Something interesting is brewing, the DoJ is looking into MPEG LA vs WebM.

While we’re on patents, for all the things they do wrong, the UK Govt does somethings right. They decided Open Standards must be royalty free. That basically means when a vendor declares something is an “Open Standard” (like MS does Office) it must also declare the necessary intellectual property is available free of charge to 3rd party implementers. This makes things like H.264 or MSXML not Open Standards. Obviously, the BSA started lobbying against it right away.
